DOGE Investigating Potential Social Security Fraud — Millions Aged 130+ On Rolls; Elon Musk Issues Update On Social Security: ‘Increasingly Optimistic’

DOGE Investigating Potential Social Security Fraud — Millions Aged 130+ on Rolls:

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is investigating potential Social Security fraud, and its head Elon Musk posted startling information from its database.

“Social Security database, these are the numbers of people in each age bucket with the death field set to FALSE!” Musk began, posting an image of a chart with age brackets going all the way up to 369 years old.

Indeed, the info showed millions of individuals listed in some of the more unlikely brackets. For instance, 4.7 million were listed from ages 100-109, but it gets worse: 3.6 million are listed for 110 to 119, 3.4 million for 120 to 129, 3.9 million for 130 to 139, 3.4 million for 140-149, and 1.3 million for 150-159.

The figures continue — although in lesser numbers — on those supposedly in their 200s. For example, 1,039 are listed between the ages of 220-229.

There is even one listed in the age bracket 360-369.

“Maybe Twilight is real and there are a lot of vampires collecting Social Security,” Musk joked.

“Yes, there are FAR more ‘eligible’ social security numbers than there are citizens in the USA,” Musk added. “This might be the biggest fraud in history.”

“Looking into this,” DOGE reposted.

This coincides with remarks Musk made on February 11.

“So, crazy things like just cursory examination of Social Security and we’ve got people in there that are 150 years old. Now, do you know anyone who’s 150? I don’t, OK. They should be on the Guinness Book of World Records, they’re missing out,” he said.
“So, that’s a case where I think they’re probably dead, is my guess, or they should be very famous — one of the two. And then there’s a whole bunch of Social Security payments where there’s no identifying information,” he continued.

According to data from Pew Research, there were roughly 101,000 individuals 100 or older in the U.S. in 2024. —>READ MORE HERE

Elon Musk Issues Update on Social Security: ‘Increasingly Optimistic’:

Elon Musk has said that Social Security benefits could increase as the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) continues its investigations into the Social Security Administration (SSA).

Why It Matters

Social Security benefits are paid monthly, forming the bedrock of income for some 70 million recipients. DOGE, spearheaded by Musk, has promised to pursue trillions of dollars in cuts across many programs and departments of the federal government, with a specific focus on uncovering fraud and wasteful spending, including in Social Security.

What To Know

Writing on X, formerly Twitter, Musk said: “We are increasingly optimistic that, as the immense waste & fraud are eliminated from Social Security & Medical that there is potential to increase actual dollars received by citizens & better healthcare!”

As it stands, Social Security benefits can be increased only by the annual Cost of Living Adjustment. COLA is designed to keep payments in line with inflation so that purchasing power is not eroded over time.

Newsweek has contacted DOGE and the SSA for comment via email outside of regular working hours.

Musk’s comments refer to DOGE’s continued work in the SSA—one of several government departments that is being investigated by the unofficial government agency in an effort to reduce federal government spending. —>READ MORE HERE
